Capacity assessment - Road
sections
Low/moderate traffic growth Moderate/high traffic growth

Intervention to address capacity
assessment
• No immediate maintenance or upgrade requirements - The current
road conditions and ongoing construction are considered to provide
sufficient capacity to address road traffic demands up to 2030.
47%
• Requirement for immediate maintenance/rehabilitation - There
appears to be a need for road maintenance, rehabilitation or
possibly pavement reconstruction
33%
• Requirement for future upgrading to increase capacity - There are
specific sections where the current road conditions are considered
to provide adequate capacity at present but by inadequate by 2030

Connectivity Reform Measures
2.4.1 Establishment of functioning maintenance system ensuring no
section in poor/very poor condition by 2020.
Assessment Report for Road Maintenance Needs in WB6
Guidelines for pavement and structural maintenance for the whole region
Preparation of 5 Year Road Maintenance Plan Core/Comprehensive Networks
Analysis & Recommendations for setting up RAMS and PBMC in region
EU financed TA, Connecta started in January 2017
2.4.3 Improving Transport Network Resilience in the Western Balkan
Carry out scoping phase of developing Network Resilience Plan
Why WB6 should act on Network
Resilience?
Why we should think about Network
Resilience? • Climate change is putting at risk the lives of millions of people
worldwide, and millions in investments in transport infrastructure and
services.
• A transport system that cannot withstand the emerging impacts of
climate change will prove burdensome, impose high costs for repair,
and cause significant economic losses.
• It needs a better understanding of existing vulnerability assessment
tools, cost-effective engineering measures and technologies all
designed to ensure robustness, redundancy and resilience are
designed into road networks.

Scoping Phase Findings –
Adaptation actions
• Protection of embankments of the bridges
• The implementation of the carbon tax system in Albania
• System maintenance of transport infrastructure, preparedness
in case of natural disasters in BiH
• Adaptation is regular component of National Plans in MKD.
• In the scope of the Road Rehabilitation and Safety Project,
the specific component is addressed to installation of 9 Road
Weather Information Systems (RWIS) stations along the state
road network in Serbia.
• Air: ANTB had provided all necessary landing/take-off
capacities and human resources needed during major Serbia
floods catastrophe in 2014
Scoping Phase Findings - Obstacles
Main obstacles listed by the regional participants :
• Lack of knowledge
• Lack of guidelines and methodologies to assess
vulnerability
• Lack of resources human, financial etc
• Lack of coordination between the ministry in charge of
environment and transport ministry/institutions
Recommendations
1.Development of guidelines and methodologies to assess transport systems vulnerability to climate change
Development of Resilience Action Plan for Core/Comprehensive Networks
Carry out risk based vulnerability assessment for indicative extension of Core/Comprehensive TEN-T Networks in Western Balkans or pilot in one of the Core Corridors
Development of Transport Resilience Strategies and Action Plans;
Implementation of adaptation strategies, measures and techniques.
